Rescue POWs

April 10, 2003|By Judith Vornbrock, Retired major, U.S. Air Force.

Palatine — For the first time in more than 60 years, a planned military rescue of a POW has been successful. I applaud the valor demonstrated by Pfc. Jessica Lynch in time of extreme duress, and the heroism of the commando team that brought her to safety under highly dangerous conditions.

Let us use this triumphant rescue as an occasion to rally national support to find and bring home other Americans reported as POW/MIA in the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars, as well as the present war with Iraq.
